Title: Home - New Single!
Post by sympathy_0 on May 20^th, 2010, 4:20pm

Ok. I am really pleased with this, I think its a great song to start off the album (from what we have heard).

Does anyone else seem to think that there is a lack of promotion behind the single/album? It seems like there is normally more around a CD release, but I could just be brain farting again. It happens a lot.

I'm excited about this song being the new single! The concert I was at the other night, they said they were going to start playing Home on the radio starting today so maybe be listening to the radio a lot to see if they'll play it.

I neeeed to start requesting it. Like 5 minutes ago

MY RADIO STATION DOESNT DO REQUESTS ANYMORE. It has to be between like 3 and 5 or something weird like that. They seem to be missing the point

I love this song....I'm just wondering if anyone has lyrics. Or did they post the lyrics on the website.

Home is now up for download at Itunes and Amazon.

It is the radio edit, not the album version we got last month.

It's $1.29 on Itunes and $0.99 on Amazon if that matters to anyone.

*US listings
**The Amazon download will not be available for 18 minutes...

I am glad that smiley doesn't get used much. It grosses me out for reasons I probably should not explain.

Just heard Home on the radio for the first time! It sounded great. Apparently it's on high rotation here.

Now that I have had some time to think, and listen to Home more. Here is my final thoughts:

I am seriously loving it. When I first heard it I thought "It's ok." I disregarded it, just like I did with Let Love In, Real, and Before It's Too Late. EXCEPT this one really grew on me, and I am really loving it! Do I think it will be a successful single? I'm not sure. That will require more thought.

I don't like Home...It does nothing for me, and I actually find the chorus somewhat grating with all the stretched out "Come take me HoOoOoOOme's...."

For me:

Home > Real, BITL, LLI, BD, Dizzy, GALB, Sympathy, We Are The Normal, Only One

Home < HIG, Black Balloon, Slide, Iris, Name

undetermined on where I'd place it in relation to LWD, Naked, SWY, Flat Top and Broadway, mostly because the style is so different it's hard to compare. For ranking, I used a mixture of what I like and what I think makes a good single, so I admit there are many biases and variables such as how new the song is.

Mine is almost the same as yours, only I like Sympathy, Dizzy and SWY better. You forgot that one!

Right now I really like the song, but I have a feeling in a few months (once the album is finally released), I'll feel the same way about it that I feel about Stay With You. It's good, but overrated.

I haven't heard Home on the radio yet. I even changed the station in my car to a more GGD friendly one.

I did hear LLI on the radio yesterday and promptly changed the station.
